Ideally the power BI dashboard is a window into more detailed content - whether that be an SSRS report, a more complex excel sheet, a page or report in sharepoint etc

Give us control over where clicking on a tile takes us (e.g. specify a URL).

Seems that customs links do not work with tiles displayed in a New Dynamics AX Workspace. Is there a way to solve this?

a dashboarding tool without ability to define "Actions" to hypelink to other reports / Systems is a major Limitation! Please add functionality as existent in SSRS (Report Actions) or Datazen (Drill-through Target..)

please merge with this Suggestion https://support.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi/suggestions/6740219-ssrs-reports-for-drill-down-into-detailed-reports --> but "drillthrough" should not only be possible for targets of SSRS report type instead it should be possible to generate parameterized urls to link to any other (web-based) system

Power Pivot / Excel etc make it easy to construct URLs dynamically. Would be great to enable links from Power BI through to trusted applications (internal or cloud based) via a URL. An admin could specify the URLs that were trusted (whitelist) to get over concerns about rogue URLs etc. These links could be used to open an existing web application to view and edit detail.
